out if they're too unaffordable. the state of massachusetts is good to look at. the agency who buys for state employees are less expensive because they use an alternative network which means the lower networks in the market. as network design changes occur, i think we can see things really change a lot as more competition gets introduced that way. >> last question and i should have asked this of professor midic, we think about a state exchange here in california, what do you think the impact is going to be in terms of our topic about costs and i think as we went through the cpmc discussions, the only thing we agree on is everyone doesn't know what's going to happen. what do you think about it? >> in california you have a proactive value purchaser of health care. it can have a significant impact on in this market in terms of what it's going to demand of the participating health plan and the prices they have and the information they provide to their enrolled patients around helping and supporting them to make more economical decisions. the only way they're going to be successful is if

heavily in not offering protection. the massachusetts general attorney did a large study a number of years ago and a lot of information was disclosed to the massachusetts ag that claims claim secret protection. they found it was against public policy to in light of trade secrets considerations and protections that have been claimed for that information. they held it was in the public interest to disclose the information they found anyway. so i think that you're exactly right. when we think about consumers in the market and the impact that this is having on them, the public policy is going to sway in the other direction. as we start to see more aco's develops and more bundle care and providers have a larger burden of determining -- we only have a certain amount of a patient and we have to make referrals to different providers. it's going to be important to how much it costs so they can keep their own cost down when they're thinking about making referrals. it's not going to be just patient that needs this information, but it's vital for the provider to make that decision going forward.

a vehicle to talk >> it's interesting in massachusetts they did a pilot where they assigned specific voufrndz we have the rental voucher program they assign the vouchers to schools to their high-risk children could receive the vouchers to cope the kids in school to improve their test scores. many parents because of the lack of affordable housing shuffle from dissected. a study was done where basically kids in k0ir7bd there was only 11 percent chance they would be there in 12 grade it was because they were moving between school districts. we invest in families and don't coordinate it investment but we need to coordinate investment not only in terms of housing but in terms of food investment and safety and in terms of being able to reduce community violence. all of those things are interrepelled in health. today we are going talking about health and health care as a flafrm and how housing and health care could work together but the school is an incredibly important partner. i agree and i think the research is coming out more and more viflt in place matters and thinking about p

foyer and so forth i want to say that as a member of the friends of camp massachusetts our committee who are obviously devoted to helping the commission. i know that mr. kislingbury has been in contact are our president joe in helping to counterfeit the cam so again, i want to extend myself there. the other organization i represent it the horseman's association. and again, i'd like to offer our assistance in things in san francisco to help out especially berry kit field for example, that is in disrepair and the area is closed to horse riders and so forth the gates locked it makes it difficult for people to bring in their rigs and a horses and try to do an event and i would as the president of the organization offer our services to the recreation and park department to help to improve the facilities through our organization and perhaps developing a friends organization and getting other atrocities to assist in this venue i think it's important that san francisco don't lose out on the ability to come out to golden gate park and learn about horses. so thank you very much >> thank you. n

chicago and massachusetts and maine main. would you indeed reduce our utilization of other programs. massachusetts is a great example they quantifyed the individual that go into housing we actually saw a close to $6,500 reduction in medicaid costs. and most of the other studies we've seen rouksz in costs but we didn't see this real continual interaction of housing and health care pr we saw the health care providers getting into the housing and wait we didn't see the person go into the hospital but we didn't see community say health care you have 80 come to the table and housing you have to come to the table and let's work together and see the results. i'm proud to say that to san francisco is one of our projects we're looking at that what would happen if we targeted 14 of those around the country there's got to be an intellectual connection between housing and health care. so we have 4 community the state of connecticut and washington here in san francisco and also los angeles. you'll be surprised to know we're learning different things in connecticut for over the years i've created

as the disillusion and the delay of the navy property. obviously the navy property massachusetts has been through idealize as we talked about the navy clean up. we have to change the schedule to move the project forward. most significantly you know, we really requested that the developer reorganize the phasing to enable al lettuce griffith to proceed. when we approved the project in 2010 we negotiated that the alice griffith revitalization would be linked up for the phase two market rate development. while it seemed smart tempting at the time it wouldn't allow the developer to start without doing alice griffith we didn't anticipate the display that actually prevented us from starting on alice awhile we wait for the navy he property. the new phasing is responding to the decouple of of the shipyard and the alice griffith now with the 349 could precede. the additional piece i wanted to mention i know the - this phasing schedule is something that must get reviewed by the california economical quality act we're working with the sequa to identify anything that my create additional economic
